Not sure how the sharing is relevant.  Even if shared with nothing
else we need to turn it on.  So just mention that on some boards it
isn't always on.

The only reason this would be optional in the binding is if there
was internal routing in some packaging or similar that meant there
was no pin to connect.

Upshot, make this required in the binding. Note that doesn't mean
the driver must require it - we are simply documenting that the
device needs power. 

Thanks,

Jonathan
